Versions 1.18.x

When checking a delivery, the system automatically saves the serial numbers entered if you do not complete the delivery check but save it for completion at a later date. The serial numbers entered for an assortment are saved and loaded when you return to check delivery.

The product group and location displays have been changed. Additional contextual actions have been added to the displays of the previously mentioned trees and action details. The way of adding main elements in the structure and those subordinate ones has been changed. It has been made possible to easily edit and delete items.

In addition, drag & drop operations and the creation of new items have been secured to prevent the creation of items with the same names at the same level.

Additional invoice list report. That allows you to generate an invoice list report for a selected contractor, time range, etc.

Invoices have been given the option to generate the invoice appearance on the application’s internal formats and using custom templates. In addition, each invoice can be exported to CSV format.

During the delivery check, the option to enter/edit the date of the actual execution of this check appeared. The field is available while editing the delivery (on the selected edit screen). If no value is entered, the current date at the time of saving the check will be selected.

When checking the delivery, it is possible to search the list of items currently displayed and filter them. By entering any text, items are searched by name, order number, or catalog number. Only those items that contain the test you are looking for are displayed.

During the loading process, after selecting an item from the warehouse, we can quickly search other warehouses by selecting the item as a pattern. That is available through a button in the loading view. After selecting it, we are automatically taken to the search engine for the material in the warehouse with the corresponding assortment name filter.

All object detail views (e.g., orders, orders, supervision, resources) have received an additional button that allows you to refresh the data without reloading the view in the browser. That is useful when changes to a particular record have occurred, for example, while browsing via a mobile device. All detail views have been equipped with such an action.

The inspection template has been expanded to include two options for storing instructions for executing a given verification procedure. The ability to enter text directly copied from MS Word documents has been added, along with the ability to format, edit and colorize the text.

The second option is the ability to add a list of attachments to the template. Those files are available for viewing during the inspection.

During execution, two additional buttons appeared that display either the attachments of a given inspection template or the saved inspection execution instruction.

The mobile display provides a preview for scheduled inspections to be performed and the ability to schedule them or go straight to performing the inspection.

The view allows you to show the inspection plans that are due for execution (by default in a given week). The list shows the dates of a planned execution, the scheduled execution date, as well as the scope of work and assigned people. From this view, we can schedule and assign people to perform inspections or independently schedule and immediately perform a given inspection.

The view allows you to show the inspections that need to be done, those that have been scheduled, and those that have already been done.

By default, the view shows inspection plans assigned to an individual. Filters allow you to view plans for individuals in your department, for all individuals, and only those still to be completed.

The inspection dashboard has been redesigned. From now on, it includes information on the statistics of the inspections carried out.

It then shows a list of scheduled inspections for the current week and the current week. From these lists, you can directly in this view schedule (assign, set a date) the execution of inspections or immediately schedule and execute (an additional inspection execution window will appear).

The list of completed inspections for the week allows you to check them or go to the details of a particular inspection.

The appearance of the inspection template editor has been changed. The question, measurement, and task lists have been redesigned to make it easier to see the definition of an item and its basic parameters right away in the list view. That makes it easier to create and edit individual items.

The dashboard for the workaround module has been redesigned. From now on it contains more information and is presented in a clear way.

The first line displays information about the nearest scheduled round and information about the last round performed.

The next line shows the statuses of all active workarounds indicating whether a workaround has been performed for a given template in the current schedule window. Workarounds have their specific hourly schedule along with the allowed margin of execution (e.g., +/- 2 hours).

The next line shows in a table a list of active rounds and the time to complete them. The second table shows the currently performed rounds and their statuses of the correctness of execution (wrong measurements, etc.) with the possibility to go to the details of the given rounds

If the system has an active service event module, the last section displays a list of service requests created on a given calendar day.

In the serial number editor (e.g., for a delivery), we have the option to enter an inventory number in addition to the serial number itself, which will be automatically assigned to the asset when the delivery check is completed.

The serial number editor now includes an option to import serial numbers, inventory numbers, and comments from xls files. This data, available in the following columns, allows quick import of S/N from an external data source (e.g., supplier documents).

The delivery editor in the desktop display has received an additional button for each item in the assortment, which allows you to enter the serial numbers of the material to be delivered.

If the system does not have external authentication configured (LDAP server, Active Directory server, Microsoft Azure OAuth, Google, Facebook, etc.,) then the users will have the Local User option enabled in the editor without the option to change it.

The possibility to influence the password security policy has been made available in the system configuration. The policy specifies, among other things, the minimum length of the password, the type of characters that must appear in the password, and the time limits for forcing a password change and locking the account if the user does not log in for a specific time.

An additional column appears in the user list indicating the user’s status against the password security policy. The policy may be set so that an account will be blocked due to not logging in for X days, although other permissions will allow that user to log in. That column allows us to detect such a status.

In the login history of users, additional information was added whether the user logged in from mobile devices (phone, tablet, etc.). Then the field MOBILE will appear in the additional information. If the AMAGE Shell application is used, an additional message "SHELL" will appear. That allows you to detect from what type of device this login occurred.

The appearance of the list of attachments in objects changed. The preview and file download buttons are moved to the top of the list, and new actions have been added: change the category of selected attachments, and specify public visibility (or revoke it) for attachments.

In the supplier portal display, a list of attachments appears in the order, delivery, and claim objects. The user can download them. Only attachments with the status of "public" are made available through these displays.

In the details displays of orders, deliveries, complaints, and warehouse documents, you can generate a document for printing (PDF) with the selection of a tab (e.g., appearance).

The management of access profiles and configurations in the application has been modified. Now this data is stored in memory and associated with a given user from the moment of login. This significantly reduces communication with the database, which should speed up system operations and activities.

An additional permission has been added to hide all financial data (amounts) in the user interface. When the global implementation flag is enabled, the system begins to check whether the user has permission to display amount data. If not then the text -,- appears in the system instead of amounts. That allows financial data (price lists, invoice values, orders, deliveries, negotiated prices) to be available only to people with the appropriate permissions.

Example of data (invoice) with permission:

Display when the user does not have permission to view financial data.

Permission for this option is in the Core module after selecting the Show amount values in the interface option.

Additional stock report making it easier to work without access to the system. Allows generating a stock report with space to enter information manually on the printout. Enables the implementation of physical inventory and facilitates recording data on returned items for leased materials/equipment.

The report is generated from the list of reports, but also from the inventory display (context menu)

The report shows information about the current stock and space for data entry. At the end of the report there is space for additional notes/elements and signatures - of the executor, the checker/acceptor and the collector (in case of returns)

The stock display - when the orders/deliveries module is also enabled - shows columns indicating orders and deliveries in progress (in transit, loading, etc.). Delivery documents increase the counter and return documents decrease the counter.

Once the documents are approved (delivered/returned), they are no longer calculated in these columns (because usually stock documents are already generated).

In the integration with the Xpertis system, a mechanism has been added to support an additional REF (reference) field that enables unique detection of changes in the order list when analyzing documents coming from the previously mentioned ERP system. That facilitates pairing the unique records and correct updating of the order status.

Due to the fact that a large part of the data imported into the system is entered by spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel, and these spreadsheets are created from different systems/manually, the data in them often have different representation of words (upper/lower case). Company/COMPANY/company in different sheets, referring to the same company. All importers from now on ignore upper/lower case notation when searching text fields. From now on, the record "COMPANY" in the sheet will correspond to the record "company" in the system.

Currently, two service event states that have the default service event state flag set cannot be added. A corresponding message appears if you try to create a second state that is the default.

If we have a defined resource structure in the form of a tree (subordinate resources), then in the service event display you can select all elements from now on - not only the main resources. In addition, a filter has been added to the resource display to show/hide subordinate resources.

The parameter editor display sorts the parameters by name.

The archive action in the work order context menu changes the flag to the opposite. When the work order is archived it activates it. In addition, in the work order editor, the flag is visible and it is possible to edit it.

The form for adding/editing a delivery has been modified in the supplier’s portal. Actions for delivery items and transport packages have been moved to the corresponding tabs. It has been made possible to edit items and delete them. The removal actions take into account the corresponding operations on the related serial numbers saved during the registration of the delivery.

In the warehouse display, the option to recalculate the current number of items in the warehouse based on the warehouse documents has been added. In case there are any discrepancies, such an action will update the stock based on all the documents that are currently assigned to the storage location.

Required permission: Warehouse accounting

All modules and displays concerning the orders, deliveries, warehouse and inventory areas have been enhanced to automatically adjust the quantity and precision of item measurements on a per-unit basis. Items counted in pieces will be represented as single integers throughout the interface and editors. Units such as meters will have a precision of 2 decimal places and units such as km will have a precision of 3 decimal places.

All displays include these changes and all edits. Delivery, loading checks handle this information and allow you to enter/edit according to the assumed accuracy.

The PVD communication application has been extended to allow communication with devices connected via serial buses of the RS-232/RS-485 type using the Modbus-RTU protocol. That allows direct communication with all types of devices that have such communication capabilities (energy meters, frequency converters, etc.).

A detailed description of the application’s configuration can be found in its user/configuration manual.

When creating a new inspection template or a round template, we enable this element by default.

The mobile view of the rounds and inspections has been slightly redesigned. Starting an inspection/round is accomplished by a dedicated button next to each such object. That makes it easier for beginners to start working with the application and at the same time prevents regular users from accidentally activating a particular inspection/round.

The possibility to perform inspection rounds directly from the desktop view of the application has been added. In some cases this is required or expected, especially when recording rounds data linked with other IT systems when direct integration is not possible.

In the resource display an option to create product groups and locations directly from the filter view has been added. Items there can be added directly from the resource level without leaving the display. That greatly simplifies the manual creation and addition of new resources and grouping them into structures.

For communication with energy meters (IEC-62056-21) and devices communicating via the MODBUS-RTU protocol, an additional option has been added to disable the default delay of readings from devices when there is no communication with them. By default, the PVD application in such a case, after several unsuccessful readings, begins to attempt readings much less frequently, so as not to occupy the bus on which other devices may be connected.

During diagnostics, such action may be unnecessary. Using the disableDelayForUnavailableDevices configuration option, this can be disabled during diagonostics/restart.

The inspection rounds module has been extensively rebuilt in the visual layer. Editors of rounds definitions have been expanded and visually present data in a way that is easier to interpret and edit. Control descriptions have been added, information about each section has been added, and the way of viewing rounds path lists has been changed.

While defining the round, you can define a new template of the round (set of questions / measurements / tasks) directly from the round definition view.

In the definition of an inspection round template, when we add a new step, we have the possibility to add new question/measurement/task templates, which we select during the definition of this step, directly from here. These items are automatically saved in the selected round template.

In the formats for creating new documents, such as order, delivery, and stock documents, an additional question appears if you try to save a document and the list of items is empty.

For modbus/modbus-rtu communication modules, an option has been added in the device definition to specify how to represent numeric values that occupy two registers (32 bits). The boolean flag useLoHiWordOrder defaults to false to allow changing the way bytes are arranged after reading two registers (32 bits).

When reading a DWORD (two registers), by default we use HiLo register alignment, that is, the highest byte first and then down to the lowest byte. With this option enabled, we use the reverse alignment BUT only for registers. That is, if we read bytes from TWO registers [A] [B] [C] [D] the HiLo alignment will be MSB [A] [B] [C] [D] LSB, while for LoHi alignment it will be MSB [C] [D] [A] [B] LSB.

The label generator in the first step of the creator allows you to edit an already saved template. That allows you to modify the template or customize the it for that particular printout.

During manual initialization of supervision for types/categories if you have not selected any type/category for initialization, the application will show the corresponding message. To initialize, you need to select for which types/categories the system should perform such an operation.

In the case of the cable usage report during cable supervision (specialized module), there is a possibility to indicate a parameter in the cable that stores information about the reel assigned (for example, by design) and a parameter in which we enter the reel used. From now on, we can indicate whether the parameter will store the name of the reel or its AMAGE ID (QR code scan). Depending on this choice, the system will search the database accordingly to generate this information.

An additional universal automaton has been added to initialize supervision based on the parameters defined in the application interface. The code of the new automaton is: supervision-universal-initializer and uses user-specified data in the interface instead of data hard-written in the automaton. The automaton allows the start of supervision for selected types/categories of types - globally throughout the application.

Details of how the machine works in the How to instructions in the help portal.

During the execution of the inspection check, we have the option to select multiple inspections at once in the list. Each inspection will be invoked one by one with the inspection acceptance dialog box.

From this version, the definition of the person responsible for checking the inspection has been changed. Previously, it resulted from the person assigned as a checker to the work order. From now on, each inspection (execution) has the possibility to directly assign a person responsible for checking. When scheduling the execution of this inspection, we can do this by indicating a specific individual or indicating ourselves by selecting the Self button

In the rounds template definition view, the ability to filter the rounds steps by the selected device has appeared. That allows you to select a device from the list and track whether all steps have been defined for it.

When creating a round template, we have the possibility to copy a set of rounding activities from one selected device to a new device/resource. That allows us to quickly duplicate an already prepared set of measurement questions in case we have several devices of the same type in the round path.

The system has been extended with an option to support users' authorization using the Microsoft® Active Directory service. Using the On-Premises version of the system configuration, users' authorization can be configured using this authorization mechanism.

Due to the availability of the Modbus-RTU communication module in the PVD application, the Modbus-RTU format has been added to the export of resource parameters in addition to the Modbus-TCP format.

The parameter templates display has been modified. The list display has been changed to a more compact one, editor and description displays have been expanded.

Parameter templates allow you to specify a template for a list of parameters, which can then be assigned for the selected type of items (assortment). That makes it easier to create a new assortment and define a set of standard parameters for them.

For example, we have defined a parameter template for the device "frequency converters" Usually, these parameters are the same for many devices from different manufacturers. By defining the parameters in the template, we can create new types of frequency converters, and we do not have to enter the same parameters once again in the type. Just select our created set of parameters from the template list, and the system will copy them to the new type.

Contractor details regarding access to the Customer/Delivery/Subcontractor portal are displayed from now on in an additional tab in the Contractor details view.

A universal portal for communication with contractors has been released. Currently, the functionality will include both the existing function of the supplier’s portal and will also be expanded to include other areas of communication.

The editor of automations that perform background work and activities in the system has been expanded and made easier to use.

In terms of production parameter events, the description in email communication has been expanded. The information for users, designated for notifications, when an event is entered, it is sent with additional information that specifies the date and time of the event entry and the reporting person.

Parameters in resources can store any information. Each type of resource allows you to define parameters, which can then be personalized for each resource. Each such parameter also stores its history can be both manual edits (additional records created, for example, during inspections) and data downloaded directly from the devices. This data can then be displayed in history and charts.

Sometimes we need to modify the parameter history. Maybe the measurement data (devices, integrations, PVD configuration) was incorrect, and the data stored in the parameter history is inaccurate. Or it could be that the data recorded has the wrong value/scale due to misinterpretation of, for example, the communication protocol.

This function allows you to edit parameter history. It is available in the resource display as well as when viewing the history of a specific parameter.

After invoking this action, we have the option:

In the orders/supplies display, additional information regarding the weight of visible orders/supplies has been added in the summary.

In the orders/supplies display, additional information regarding the weight of visible orders/supplies has been added in the summary.

In the context menu of element types, definable parameters can be modified by selecting new parameters from predefined parameter templates. The system allows you to replace existing parameters in types (and related resources) or add them as new, additional parameters.

In the summary view of item types, you can go directly to the resources of a given type. You can either open a pop-up window with these resources or you can go to the resource view with such a filter already created.

Order, delivery, and warehouse document editors in the Desktop interface now have the option to clear the document number generation option automatically from the counter. When you select the "Manual" option, the system will allow you to enter/modify the document number even if the document previously received the number automatically from the counter.
